I would say, rather, use the language with the most libraries in the area of your startup. Code you don't have to write beats ease of reinventing everything, any day. I say this as someone who has reinvented some things over and over during the last seven years.
- Zak 19y agoI suppose it depends on how groundbreaking your project is. A lot of web apps are mostly glue code and presentation, making libraries more important than language features. If you're solving more interesting problems, your ability to write new code will be more important.
- randallsquared 19y agoThat's true. I'm just saying you shouldn't pick a language that forces you to solve interesting problems you otherwise wouldn't. But I don't think we're in much disagreement, if any.
